Strawberries
Plus Sugar
Plus lots and lots of stirring
Plus canning jars
Equals what?
It’s not rocket science. Just half a year’s supply of strawberry jam!
And we threw in TWO strawberry pies for good measure!
What fun, exhausting, and rewarding day we had Saturday. Donna and I put up {I don’t know how many} quarts pints of jam, and a few quarts pints of strawberry syrup {after we had gone that morning to pick the most sweet, juicy strawberries. I am so thankful to her for teaching me how to can. I think I can now do it by myself and not feel intimidated!
mmmmmm, mmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDelete(but those look like pints. LOL! Delicious, nonetheless!)
Kate, I can't believe that all those jars of jam will only last 6 months! Looks like you ladies had a great day and made some delicious goodies.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for working so hard on keeping your blog updated every few days - I thoroughly enjoy it because it helps me still feel connected to your family. Miss you. :)

ReplyDeleteSave some of that syrup for when I get there. It all looks so good.
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMMM!
